Daniel 9:25 KJV
[25] Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times..
Date of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, the temple, and the nation, by Artaxerxes can be arrived at by working backwards from the known dates of the birth of Jesus, his baptism, and his crucifixion in the middle of his seven year ministry. The baptism of Jesus is the anointing of the Messiah the Prince, which was sixty nine weeks after the decree to restore and to build Jerusalem. .
We know Jesus was born 4 BC. He was thrity years old at his baptism, 27 AD. He was crucified halfway through his seven year ministry, in 30 AD. .
Jesus was baptized in 27 AD., the time of his anointing as the Messiah the Prince, 483 years after the decree to restore and to build Jerusalem. .
The Messiah the Prince, Jesus, the Christ, was anointed as Messiah at his baptism. Jesus, the Son of God was being baptized. The Father spoke from heaven. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lighted on him. John the baptist, the forerunner of the Messiah, Jesus, the Christ, was doing the baptizing. .
Working backwards 483 years from the year 27 AD. is the year 457 BC. This is the year that Artazerzes gave his decree to Ezra. A copy of this decree is recorded in Ezra 7:11-26. .
God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering.
Genesis 22:8 KJV.
[8] And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together..
John the baptist identified Jesus as the Lamb of God at his baptism.
John 1:29 KJV
[29] The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John 1:36 KJV
[36] And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
God claimed to be in Christ, when he was reconciling the world to himself, which is the definition of the Christ, the Messiah.
2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV
[19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Daniel 9:25 KJV
[25] Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

OTHER WORDING FOR THIS SAME CALCULATION:
Baptism of Jesus 27 AD - 483 years = 457 BC
Baptism of Jesus 27 AD - 483 years = 456 years plus 1 year for no zero year = 457 BC
Daniel 9:24-27 gives the three time periods, of 7 weeks, which equals 49 years, plus 62 weeks, which equals 434 years, equal 483 years , leaving the last week, the last seven years, as the ministry of Jesus who was cut off, crucified, halfway through the seven year ministry.
The birth, baptism, and death of Jesus verify the date of the time of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem. Working backward from the time of the Messiah the Prince, the baptism of Jesus, gives the year of the decree to restore and build Jerusalem, 457 BC.
Artazerzes gave his decree to Ezra in 457 BC. A copy of this decree is found in Ezra 7:11-26.
Artaxerxes reigned 465-424 B.C

This is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra
Ezra 7:11-26 KJV
[11] Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the Lord, and of his statutes to Israel. [12] Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time. [13] I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee. [14] Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand; [15] And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, [16] And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem: [17] That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. [18] And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God. [19] The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem. [20] And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house. [21] And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily, [22] Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. [23] Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? [24] Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them. [25] And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not. [26] And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

Commentary
Daniel 9:24-27 KJV
[24] Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. [25] Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. [26] And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. [27] And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
